Engine room heat exhausting structure
An engine room heat exhausting structure configured to discharge heat from an engine room, is provided, which includes an engine room accommodating an engine with cylinders lined up in a front-and-rear direction of a vehicle, a wheelhouse provided outside the engine room in a vehicle width direction, an exhaust emission control device disposed between the engine and the wheelhouse, a wheelhouse liner configured to protect an inner wall of the wheelhouse, a discharging part provided rearward of the exhaust emission control device and configured to discharge into the wheelhouse a part of air cooled the exhaust emission control device, and a guiding part provided to the wheelhouse liner and configured to guide the air discharged into the wheel house to underneath the vehicle in a rear part of the wheelhouse.
VEHICLE WITH THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A vehicle includes a chassis, a cab coupled to the chassis, a body coupled to the chassis, a cowl coupled to at least one of the body or the cab and extending above the cab, and a heat exchanger coupled to the cab and positioned at least partially within the cowl such that the heat exchanger extends above the cab.
VEHICLE WITH THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Shutter device for vehicle
The shutter device has a blade and a frame member which supports the blade in a rotatable manner. The device has a shaft arranged along the frame member, an actuator device for rotating the shaft, and a link member which opens and closes the blade by transmitting a rotational force of the shaft to the blade. The device has a calibration structure having a calibration member formed on the shaft and a calibration surface formed on the frame member. The calibration structure calibrates a rotational position of the shaft by coming into contact with the calibration member onto the calibration surface. The device further has a discharge structure which discharges foreign matters existing between the calibration member of the shaft and the calibration surface of the frame member.
Straddled vehicle
A straddled vehicle including a radiator, a radiator fan disposed behind the radiator and configured to generate air passing through the radiator and flowing rearward, a fan cover disposed behind the radiator fan and including a lateral blowing port configured to blow out sidewards the air flowing rearward from the radiator, a side cover covering the radiator laterally and having an opening formed therein, an inner panel disposed between the side cover and the radiator, to thereby define an accommodation space between the inner panel and the side cover, and an electrical component disposed in the accommodation space. The inner panel includes a slope that is located rearward of the radiator, slants with respect to aright-and-left direction of the straddled vehicle, is configured to lead the air blown out from the lateral blowing port to the opening in the side cover, and divides the accommodation space.
AIR FLAP DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE INCLUDING AN OPTICAL FUNCTIONAL CHECK
An air flap device for a motor vehicle, to a plurality of jointly adjustable air flaps and to an actuator for adjusting the plurality of air flaps between a closed position and an open position, the air flap device including a radiative detection device for detecting and assessing a position of the plurality of air flaps; the radiative detection device having a radiation source and a radiation receiver, the radiation source emitting an electromagnetic test radiation in the direction toward the radiation receiver, at least one air flap as a test air flap having a test section through which the test radiation is able to radiate, the test section being situated in the propagation path of the test radiation from the radiation source to the radiation receiver in such a way that only when the test air flap is in a predetermined reference operating position at least a portion of the test radiation radiates through the test section toward the radiation receiver and reaches the radiation receiver with an irradiation result within a predetermined irradiation result space.
Active grille, scalable design
An active grille shutter arrangement having an assembled modular frame with a plurality of primary frame pieces formed by extrusion. Each one of the plurality of primary frame pieces has a first end, a second end and at least one key slot extending between the first end and the second end. Each of the plurality of frame pieces also includes a hollow bore extending through the each one of the plurality of primary frame pieces forming an aperture at the first end and an aperture at the second end. When the modular frame is assembled there is an upper frame portion and lower frame portion, both formed from one of the plurality of primary frame pieces. The arrangement also includes a number of alternate frame and vane pieces that allow several different active grille shapes and configurations to be formed.
RADIATOR SHUTTER FOR MOTOR VEHICLES
A radiator shutter for a motor vehicle for controlled engine ventilation, having a frame in which at least two louvres are mounted rotatably to pivot from a closed position to an open position. A motor which drives a single louvre is provided in or on the frame on an engine side of the frame. On the same side is a coupling element which synchronously transmits the rotation of the louvre to the other louvres. A locking disc is provided for each louvre on the mounting side of the frame facing away from the engine side of the frame, in the region of the mounting provided there for the louvres. The locking discs have a form which, if at least one of the locking discs does not rotate synchronously with all the other locking discs, blocks the rotational movement of the locking discs in a force-fitting and form-fitting manner.
ACTIVE DUAL ROLL SHUTTER APPARATUS FOR A VEHICLE
An active dual roll shutter apparatus for a vehicle has two lead screws rotated by power from a single motor. First and second roll screens are simultaneously operated upward and downward in opposite directions along the two lead screws to open a flow path when the lead screws rotate, thereby improving sealability of the flow path and aerodynamic performance of the vehicle.
DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING AN AIR STREAM FOR AN AIR INLET OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
The invention relates to a device for adjusting (80) an air stream for an air inlet of a motor vehicle, comprising a housing (81) defining a flow duct (82) into which an air stream flows and in which a cooling unit comprising at least one heat exchanger (83) is at least partially arranged, the housing comprising a flap (85) designed to be placed in an open position providing access to the heat exchanger, said flap being designed to close the access in the closed position, said access (86) being designed in particular to enable removal of the heat exchanger through a substantially translational movement.
